Well, making students speak is tough.: Well for private lessons ( one to one ) adults or children I've done special worksheets, using role plays. But the part they have to act is in the native language. for example A is in french ( I 'm French) and I'm acting B . On the worksheet nothing is written so they have to understand what I say.
That's a great idea. It goes back to what I said about scripted responses but adds the element of surprise by not having the teacher's text there.

Thanks, Michèle!
